I agree, Moddit, and I was thinking about writing a similar comment. Any time a distribution doesn’t give me a copy of a particular version of a browser, whether Firefox or something else, I just get a copy for myself. I’ve built a few using various tools, but I prefer just getting a compressed tar archive to unpack, then, as you mentioned, you can put it anywhere you want. In the case of the Firefox browser, I usually create a firefox-release, firefox-beta, and firefox-nightly on a few of my distributions; on others, I just have a browser or two available that’s prepackaged. Any time the distro doesn’t include what I want, that’s definitely when I “do my own thing”.
